Come Join the Corpus Christi Procession!
Sunday, June 3rd
|
Come and join us for a traditional Corpus Christi procession on June 3rd! We will begin after a bilingual Mass at St. Hyacinth Church. About 12:50 p.m. we will have Benediction and begin a procession to St. Patrick. After Benediction, at the porch of St. Patrick, we will continue the procession to Holy Rosary Shrine for the third Benediction. If you are unable to come for the noon Mass, simply come to St. Hyacinth Parish a little before 1 p.m. If you don’t think you are able to walk the full route, drive to St. Patrick Church at 1:15 p.m. and join us there for the procession to Holy Rosary.
Parish Organizations will have their banners, and First Communicants are encouraged to wear their suits and dresses. Wagons and strollers are certainly welcome and appropriate! Refreshments and lunch will be available after the procession at the TCA gym. In case of rain, we will process inside St. Hyacinth. Processions are an important tradition in our Faith. That is why Mass always begins with a procession. It reminds us that as Christians we have a purpose, we have a destination, and that we are all on pilgrimage through this life. Don’t miss our procession this year! |

If you did not receive your copy, please pick up a copy in the back of the church. If you would like additional copies for family or friends, please stop by the parish office.
Often we find there just isn’t enough space in the bulletin for everything our parish family has to share! The magazine tries to bridge that gap. |

Pilgrimage to Italy 2018
We are excited to announce that the 2018 pilgrimage to Italy has been scheduled for next spring. If you have not been to Rome before, please especially consider coming to visit the Eternal City, to visit the tombs of Sts. Peter and Paul, and to explore the Catacombs of the early Christians. If you have already been on one of the LaSalle pilgrimages, this will also be a great tour for you as this year’s itinerary will include many cities and holy sites that we haven’t visited before. We will begin in Venice, and travel by coach through the Italian countryside to Rome, stopping to visit Padua, Florence, and Siena. The dates are after Easter, when Italy is warming up, but before the tourist season: April 9th-18th.
